The article demonstrates that the 2022 US Supreme Court decision on Dobbs deepens class differentiation among women in the USA in their access to abortion. Relying on the historical materialist approach, we show that the USA have continuously limited access to abortion since its decriminalization on the federal level in 1973 by systematically targeting low-income women and violating their right to reproductive autonomy. The bans on abortion implemented in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision on Dobbs will further exacerbate the already existing inequalities in abortion access and reproductive autonomy between the poor and the rich women, with the latter being affected least as they will be able to afford interstate travel or travelling abroad in order to secure access to legal and safe abortions
